It’s always good to get out and see new places and things. Yesterday the Sausage Walkers took a journey to Castillejos for our weekly hike. It’s about a 30 minute trip by Jeepney, just on the other side of Subic town. We had an unusually large group of 14 persons and 1 dog.
We were lucky enough to catch an empty Jeepney and we all rode out together…Exiting the vehicle after our safe arrival in Castillejos…Let’s head for the hills!Sunny and hot but still a good day for a hike.Getting our rocks off, or on as it were…Crossing the creek and the dog was all “fuck that, I’m swimming across…”I kept my feet dry though…The locals enjoying a cooling swim in the ol’ watering hole…A quick rest stop…Then back on the trail…A view from the top…that’s Easter Mountain off in the distance. I’ve photographed it from the Barretto side when I’m walking “My Bitch”…Lunch time. I usually just do cheese and apple but I broke down and bought a great big cinnamon roll at our morning meetup spot, Angel’s Bakery. Starting today I’m back to low carb diet, my big ol’ belly tells me it’s time…We had intended to make a loop (the red) but lost our trail. After a fruitless search, we turned around and walked back from whence we came…Back to the highway, a Jeepney ride to Barretto, and then our customary post hike beers at Cheap Charlies bar.
It was a good day and a good walk. Almost 27,000 steps all told (some of that was not Sausage Walkers related though, our trail came in at 9K).
I’ve yet to find the famous Mating Tree on my hikes. But I’m always on the lookout!
Whenever I need to leave it all behind Or feel the need to get away I find a quiet place, far from the human race Out in the country
Before the breathin’ air is gone Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night-time Out where the rivers like to run I stand alone and take back somethin’ worth rememberin’
